Pakistan Telecommunication Authority has published numbers of Broadband users in Pakistan, with segment wise details of all technologies that are being used in the country.
PTA says that there are total of 564,352 broadband users in Pakistan, as of October 2009. DSL and WiMAX technologies clearly dominate the market.
Please review following graphs and tables, which speak themselves…!
| Technology | Dec 08 | Mar 09 | Jun 09 | Jul 09 | Aug 09 | Sep 09 | Oct 09 |
| DSL | 171,170 | 176,616 | 262,661 | 265,275 | 272,862 | 298,887 | 332,434 |
| HFC | 40,330 | 40,330 | 36,201 | 37,334 | 36,759 | 36,004 | 35,858 |
| WiMax | 39,310 | 39,310 | 88,477 | 101,956 | 119,718 | 133,538 | 156,975 |
| FTTH | 2,370 | 2,370 | 3,967 | 4,353 | 4,495 | 4,092 | 4,269 |
| EvDO | 14,000 | 14,000 | 22,503 | 25,191 | 26,662 | 27,474 | 33,972 |
| Others | 22 | 803 | 797 | 844 | |||
| Total | 267,180 | 272,626 | 413,809 | 434,131 | 461,299 | 500,792 | 564,352 |
It is observed that EVO devices are doing pretty well in terms of penetration. This is an area where operators can grab good amount of internet users. We know that services provided by Wireless EVO service providers (PTCL and WorldCall) is not up to the mark. Signal variation is pretty high – while customers don’t get the advertised download speeds. Despite all this, it is evident that broadband on the Go is picking the gears.
WiMAX technology is going to remain the hot topic for experts. WiMAX subscribers grew from 33,000 to 156,000 in one year, that’s highest growth rate when compared to other broadband channels.
Below graphs show the market share for broadband technologies…!

Who is the best broadband service provider in Pakistan ?
connection quality wise
what is FTTH?
EDGE (2.5G) is broadband or dial-up?
What is wi fi and how can i ues it on my mobile phone ?
hahahahha
Purchase a wi-fi enabled phone (e.g Nokia N-95, iPhone etc). Wi-fi will only operate in a “hotspot” (i.e a wi-fi router is within range).
But wi-fi is not a broadband technology in the above-mentioned sense, it is a wireless local area networking system.
Its really sounds good , but the real problem is now days speed is getting down. And , i am afraid might we lost quality in hassle of quantity.
Aamir Bhai, this is a very important breakthrough for all GSM users of the world:
“Billions of mobile phone users around the world are at risk of having their calls intercepted and recorded after hackers broke the encryption used to protect 80 per cent of the world’s mobiles.
People regularly trading in confidential information, such as Government officials and executives, would be the most likely eavesdropping targets but virtually anyone with enough skills and determination could harness the research for nefarious means, security experts warn.
German computer engineer Karsten Nohl told a hacker conference in Berlin that he and his team decoded the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) encryption algorithm to draw attention to gaping security holes in the technology and drive mobile operators to patch them.
About 80 per cent – or 3.5 billion – of the world’s mobiles are based on GSM, which is over 20 years old.
Nohl, who has published the secret GSM encryption code online, told the Chaos Communication Congress this week that a skilled eavesdropper using basic equipment and free software could be recording phone calls within 15 minutes”.
